Parent Volunteer Needed

Posted on by jessiccamarks
The Elizabeth School District seeks a parent volunteer to join their facilities master planning assistance team. The team will work with RTA Architects, the firm hired by the district, to facilitate the planning process, as well as district leadership, town representatives, and parents. RTA is looking to host the first meeting the last week in January/the first week in February, with a commitment of three to four meetings between now and this summer.
Much of the discussions will be around developing CTE opportunities for high school students, which will impact any students from LA attending Elizabeth High School. More details will follow; however, if you are interested in participating, please let Jen Zander know at jen.zander@legacyk8.org.

Night of the Arts

Posted on by jessiccamarks

Hello, friends of the arts! Legacy Academy is excited to announce our inaugural Night of The Arts! This event will take place on Friday, March 3rd, 2023. Our goal for this event is to showcase all of the artistic qualities students have at Legacy Academy and provide an opportunity for students and families to experience art and its many forms in an Art Gallery style. 

For safety reasons, we are splitting this event into two sections. The Kindergarten – 3rd-grade event will begin at 4:00 pm, and the 4th through the 8th-grade section will start at 5:30 pm. We ask that all families and students gather in the gymnasium at the event’s start to experience a brief musical performance by the Legacy Academy Concert Band. After a short performance, we would like to invite families to walk around the school, experience student art, make a craft in Mrs. Baird’s art room, and/or buy a sweet treat provided by Legacy PTCO. 

As well as taking in some fantastic student artwork, we would like to invite families to come to experience our living museum put on by some of our amazing middle school students. The museum comes to life in the gymnasium after the Legacy Academy Concert Band performs at 5:30 pm. 

Your support of the arts has an incredible impact on our budding artistic community, and we would love to see you here celebrating with us. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact Mr. Powell, Mrs. Baird, or Mrs. Vicky Harjo.
